Tracing Back The Right Track Poem by Bada Olaitan Tope

TRACING BACK THE RIGHT TRACK

I have walked away a mile astray,
When tossed up by the decadence of the way.
I have wander away in my ignorance,
When overwhelmed by the gratification of the flesh.

I have lost in disarray,
When lured by the glittering things of this universe.
I nearly fell off the right track,
When gotten twisted by the complexity of the globe.

I nearly fell to the thorn of delay,
When trying to concentrate on the rotten decadence.
My dreams almost turn mirage,
When am being carried away by the strange elusive love.

I nearly crash on the way,
When trying to jump the way without considering the traffic rules.
I almost forgot my purpose in life,
When the fire of focus becomes cold.

I nearly got discouraged,
When the way becomes clumsy with tricking vanity.
I nearly got tired,
When the spirit of motivation dwindles.

I almost hit the waterloo,
When I forgot my cradle and embrace the strange ideas.
I finally stopped treading the way,
When I envisaged a blockage at the end.

I retraced my way back to the right track,
When I realized that I have a long way to go.
I got fresh motivation,
When my sense awake from slumbering and strengthens my vision.

I refreshed my focus, I worked on my flaws and I garnish myself with a positive mind. I
learn how to get rid of my past ugly experience so that I can go on with life as it keeps
rolling on again and again, I learn how to use any position I am as a big privilege to
acquire wisdom and strength. I traced back the right track to my maker, on getting to him,
he strengthens me and unleashed on me great potentials…
